THE SEASON, CROPS, PRICES, ETC. 
Crop Prospect*. -From the National Crop Re¬ 
porter of June 13 we make this synopsis of the 
condition ol the growing crops throughout the 
country Reports front correspondence, dated" 
June I, indicates that a severe drouth was pre¬ 
vailing in nearly all portions of the country 
east, of the Rocky Mountains as far as New 
England, with more or less damage to growing 
crops. In most sections since that date Micro 
have been very general rains, and,His thought, 
enough to check all damage on the score of 
drouth. The condition of the growing wheat 
in the States of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, 
Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin was 
nearly three per cent, above a good average 
condition, in Illinois and Missouri, the condi¬ 
tion of the wheat, was very high; in Iowa five 
per cent, above an average, and in the other 
State below the average. The condition of 
oaf , in t.lu same States was six per cent, below 
a good average, Missouri being Die only State 
reported above an average. Estimates In rela¬ 
tion to the arc;/ sown this season in barley in 
dioutc, in t he Slates previously mentioned, an 
increase over Inst year of 202 acres, and make 
the area this year in round numbers 580,000 
acres. There is an estimated falling off in Die 
rye area, averaging in Die same States three 
per cent ., or 10.130 acres. The area this year is 
placed at a trifle less than 387,000 acres. Special 
returns in relat ion to the tobacco crop in Ken¬ 
tucky, Southern Ohio and Indiana, and in Ton- 
nc:.sec, arc such as to make the outlook a very 
bad one. Growers and dealers generally expect 
only onc-ha!f or two-thirds oi last, year's crop. 
Much damage Is reported as done by the potato 
hug. Comparatively little damage is reported 
as done by the chinch bug, and no extensive 
dest ruct ion by grasshoppers. 
Green County, Mu., May 25. Only for the 
myriads of chinch bugs on our farms, we would 
bo very hopeful of heavy harvests. Wheat 
looks unusually fine. Oats and corn also look 
well. The season is all wo could ask for, ami 
possibly may continue so favorable as to ren¬ 
der 1 he ravages of the bugs of little apparent 
damage. Our corn and out props were nearly 
ruined by them last year, and we are now anx¬ 
ious for bountiful crops, as aim ist all farmers 
are nearly out of corn, which sells readily at £1 
per bushel. 1 am told corn h s been brought 
from St. Louis, 210 miles distant, to supply the 
demand. More farmers are this year buyers 
than sellers of corn. Our country Is usually 
moderately productive, producing almost al¬ 
ways medium averages of corn, oat.s and wheat 
Our present wheat crop, if not hereafter in¬ 
jured, will be far above an average. We now 
often hoar candid farmers estimating their 
hope of prospective yield at from fifteen to 
even in some inst ances as high ns twenty-five 
bushels per acre. Although we Unmv the in¬ 
sect enemy is abundant, the season is ho favor¬ 
able that wo work with much hope cheering us 
onward,—GRANGER.
